It's about time the Cafe had its own Blues thread. So here it is.
This is all about you and the Blues No complex jazz changes to challenge
the grey matter, no blistering tempo to change the arthritis . This is open
to ALL members to have a play with. There's NO melody to learn just make up
your own

Don't worry the title is just a working title, you can title it what you like. The track has
x5 choruses with a two bar intro, the Key is Bb minor, the tempo is about 80ish.

The chords are.

ll Bbm l F7+ l

ll: Bbm l % l % l Bb7+ l
Ebm l % l Bbm l % l
Gb7 l F7 l Bbm l F7 :ll

Feel free to post as many versions as you like, each time you find another way round
the track press record and share it on here. I know Pete and Aldevis will be joining in on
this one, so it really will be a Cafe Blues. Looking forward to hearing some great tracks.

At last! It's good that we have a Blues(Sax) thread. I'm looking forward to hear blues recordings from the CS members. Maybe I'll post some clips myself? I can't record direct into my computer. I use a small PA with my sax mixed in and then I record it on a Zoom1.

Just make up something simple Alan, or find a minor blues you like and 'Borrow' that. The idea of a Cafe Blues was lossely based on SOTW's. But over here you get a full track of your own not just 12 bars. Like I said it should be a fun thread.

Nick, I'll forgive you posting two versions seeing how good they were to listen to. Nice one. Looking forward to some more over the coming weeks.Pete, I presume that's the new Selmer you're playing?? You're making it sound good..
